The Changing Shapes of Red Ladder THE CHANGING SHAPES OF RED LADDER The Agitprop Street Players – as Red Ladder was originally known – emerged when a group from a socialist information service performed a play at the Trafalgar Square Festival of 1968. The plays were short and biting, morale-boosting sketches often relying on striking visual images to get the message across, they were highly portable relying on few props and were performed at mass political demonstrations, tenants association meetings, weekend schools etc. Gradually the basis of the work broadened and plays that fed directly into particular struggles and issues developed; such as „The Big Con‟ against the Industrial Relations Act and „The Cake Play„against productivity bargaining, The 60‟s were an era of riots, demonstrations and revolt – economic prosperity served to broaden political debate and theatre wanted to take part in this revolution of ideas. As it was conventional theatre changed little so the „alternative‟ emerged in the shape of fringe theatre. Red Ladder became a prominent member of the fringe movement, known as one of the best established political theatre companies in Britain. By 1971, the name Red Ladder evolved, after a much loved and used prop. There also evolved a policy of taking theatre to „working class‟ audiences in places where working people usually find their entertainment, this now included trade union clubs. By 1973 the commitment of the company was recognised with an Arts Council grant of £4,000 and in 1976 the company moved from London to Leeds, Yorkshire and is still based in the city, although it continues to tour on a national basis. While early Red Ladder plays 1968-73 fed directly into political disputes of the time, below is a list of full length plays produced from 1974 together with changes in Artistic Policy. „Taking our Time‟, was a watershed in Red Ladders Artistic development: creating a more analytical approach to story telling as opposed to the simple solutions of Agitprop. The early 1980‟s became another watershed as it made the company consider the role and practice of political theatre in 1980‟s, a very different environment to that of the sixties & seventies. It led to a year of experimentation with new ideas, building on the experience of the past. 1985/86 led to another changing shape for the company from a Collective to a Hierarchy with the appointment of a Board of Directors who in turn employed an Artistic Director – Rachel Feldberg. Therefore the company developed a New Policy. The Company’s aims were as follows: To create an artistically exciting socialist feminist theatre. To take this work to audiences who would not normally see theatre, young people 14 - 25 and the adults who work with them. To perform on their own ground, in Youth Clubs and places where they normally meet, rather than in theatre venues. To make our work accessible to all young people and in particular to reach young people for whom there is little or inadequate provision; young disabled people, Black young people (within which we include Asian and African Caribbean teenagers), young people in inner cities and isolated rural areas. To offer theatre of the highest possible standard which is exciting and challenging both for the audience and performers, which uses a wide variety of forms and which seeks to develop the vocabulary of this form of theatre by offering young people „the best‟. To base this work on issues of concern to our audience and to develop the ways in which theatre can be used which parallel groups and professions (for instance Youth Workers). To encourage these workers to use theatre as part of their work with associated training, preparation and follow up. To continue to implement and develop the Company‟s Equal Opportunities Policy (including our Anti-Racist strategy and Action Plan on Disability) placing it at the core of our work and seeking to achieve a fully integrated Company at all levels. To raise the profile of this area of work amongst other Companies, funding bodies and professional workers and to encourage Regional Arts Boards and Local Authorities/Youth Services to work in partnership. The Artistic and Audience Developments were as follows: An innovative tri-part programme for Asian girls to include parallel projects in India and the North of England, coupled with development of a new, long term, Asian women‟s theatre project based in the North. A consistent development of the Company‟s work for disabled teenagers through a series of experimental projects - using sign theatre, dance and an environmental installation. A continued development of the Company‟s work with disabled performers, pursuing adequate funding for their support. A continued exploration of work with teenagers in unusual and artistically challenging environments, through a promenade piece and a mobile performance space for isolated rural areas. An emphasis on work which draws on different artistic and cultural forms. „Bilingual‟ work will be a focus of the three small scale „Work In Progress‟ projects. An extension of the Company‟s role encouraging new writing from under represented groups through the creation of an annual „Work In Progress‟ slot backed by dramaturge attachment. In 1994 there was the Appointment of Kully Thiarai as Artistic Director. New Mission Statement Red Ladder is a national Touring Company, recognising that investment in young people is an investment in the future and is dedicated to: Creating and providing artistically exciting high quality theatre for young people who have little or no access to, or experience of the theatre; Touring new work nationally which, through exploring issues specifically designed for young people, is pure theatre; Developing strategies which offer young people the opportunity to become involved in the artistic life of this country; Striving for artistic excellence in its performance and presentation in a way which is accessible and challenging to its audience; Developing new writing and other theatre skills.

As well as our professional touring productions 2002 saw the appointment of Madani Younis as director of the Asian Theatre School. Under Madani‟s direction the school created. 2004 Mission Statement: To inspire and challenge the lives of young people.

  • I‟Ve Done a Lot of Lecturing. Well. Talking. I‟Ve Talked
    I‟ve done a lot of lecturing. Well. Talking. I‟ve talked to journalism students, I‟ve talked to film production students, I‟ve talked to people who want to be radio presenters. I talk on the radio quite a lot. I‟ve even talked to Women‟s Institutes and Rotary clubs. Once, I accidentally talked to a classroom full of police officers while in the line of a duty as a local newspaper reporter. When I say accidentally, I mean in the literal sense - an accident being an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly. I‟ll come back to that. But this is something of a first. Lecturing at this festival about this particular subject. Thank you for being here at the special moment when a journalist, writer and broadcaster becomes a man. That is to say, a bona fide, Ilkley Lit Fest lecturer. First I have to say thank you to the Walter Swann Trust for asking me to deliver this inaugural lecture. A genuine privilege to honour a really good man and one who I know meant a lot to this community. He meant a lot to this beautiful town. Actually, I should say this beautiful, somewhat gentrified, Yorkshire town. Because that is, after a fashion, going to be the subject of this lecture. Me, standing here, in this beautiful, somewhat gentrified, Yorkshire town, talking about theatre. When preparing for tonight, I read that you should give your lecture a title. So the inaugural Walter Swan lecture is called: Gentrification, storming the Castle and Accidentally Lecturing a Classroom Full of Police Officers.

  • Holme Valley U3A
    Holme Valley U3A Update for Holme Valley U3A members. February 2017 Welcome This is our first update of 2017. Our chair, Sue Steeples has started the year by visiting some of the groups. We think it is important you all have one familiar face to turn to if you need us, so other committee members will be joining her in that task over the next few weeks. You don’t have to wait until a visit to let us know your thoughts on our U3A though – do feel free to send ideas to the committee or just let us know how much you enjoyed something Several of you said you were pleased to have the larger December newsletter sent by post. Our committee looked at this last month. Posting items is expensive, but we know downloading long documents from a web-site is not easy. Our next quarterly news will therefore also be posted to you, but we will continue to put these shorter updates on the website and only post to those who have asked for paper copies. The March newsletter will be looking for nominations for all our committee posts in preparation for the Annual General Meeting. Our constitution only allows individuals to carry on doing the same job for three years, so we are keen to start involving new possible committee members so we don’t all change at once. If you think you would like to join the committee, or shadow one of the current members in their final year do talk to Sue or another committee member.
